    Are Beats Studio's worth $200?

      Just keep in mind that being "right" or "wrong" when it comes to something like headphones is very subjective :).  Are beats "wrong" for most of the people who come to this forum? Most likely, yes. But they are also most likely "right" for consumers who want something that looks cool and...

    Are Beats Studio's worth $200?

      The most important thing to keep in mind is that your son will be listening to these headphones, not you.  The next thing to keep in mind is the general demographic that the Beats are marketed to.  They are not marketed towards fathers and real musicians, but rather a whole different...

    IEM for classical music fanatic

    Owning the Turbine Pro Coppers, I can say that there are probably better alternatives if you're looking for accuracy and balance.  They excel at rock, with a deep bass extension and warm sound.  If you appreciate precision, you might need something a bit colder and more analytical.   The...

    Need advice on Apple IEMs

    Are you sure you need a dual driver BA design? The Soundmagic PL30 and PL50 both provide quite balanced sound, and should be around your price range.

    Got them ordered, but haven't received an invoice email yet. It also said one of the visas weren't working. Looks like their servers are having some issues. Hold tight!
